[11:38pm PDT, July 8 2009] We will be deploying server version 1.27.0 to Second Life during the weeks of July 6th and July 13th. The rolling restart is scheduled to look like the following:
* Thu. 07/09 7-10am : a pilot roll of ~500 simhosts - Complete
* Tue. 07/14, 7-12AM : half of Second Life will be restarted
* Wed. 07/15, 7-12AM : the remainder of Second Life will be restarted
As with all of our server deploys, each region will be restarted once during one of the rolling restart periods. Most regions should be down no more than 5-10 minutes, although some fraction of the regions will take 20-30 minutes to upgrade. If your region stays down for more than 30 minutes, please contact support. Each region will receive warnings starting 5 minutes before that region is restarted.
Here are the “1.27 Release Notes”
